🔍 Can you still track a BlackBerry device?
Although many BlackBerry services were discontinued in 2022, some devices can still be tracked, depending on whether they run Android or BlackBerry OS, and if tracking features were previously enabled.
📲For BlackBerry devices with Android
Models like the KEYone, Motion or DTEK50 run Android, so you can use Google’s system:
✅ Steps:
- Go to https://www.google.com/android/find
- Sign in with the Google account linked to the phone
- You’ll be able to:
- View its location
- Make it ring
- Lock or erase it remotely
Requirements: GPS enabled and internet connection.
📲For devices running BlackBerry OS
Older models (like Bold, Curve, Z10, Q5…) are more limited:
✅ Options:
- BlackBerry Protect (official tool, discontinued but partially functional on some devices)
- Allowed remote location, lock and data wipe
- Must have been activated in the device settings before loss
- Third-party apps (if installed beforehand)
- Examples: Lookout, Prey, Avast Mobile Security
- Some older versions may still allow GPS or SMS tracking
- Carrier and IMEI-based tracking
- Contact your carrier to try tracking or blocking the device using the IMEI number
🛡️ Final recommendations
- Always enable GPS and screen lock
- Keep your IMEI number in a secure place
- Request an IMEI block from your carrier if the phone is unrecoverable
- Consider upgrading to a newer OS for better security and tracking features
